About

As the Founder of Tercio Labs, I design and prototype high-performance embedded motor-control products for robotics and automation applications. Key innovations include a compact CAN-FD to USB Adapter, a Smart Stepper Driver with STM32-based closed-loop control, and a high-speed BLDC Motor Controller. These products are in advanced prototype stages, with pilot manufacturing planned in the coming months. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The University of Manchester, with a focus on embedded systems and hardware-software co-design. My experience mentoring FIRST Robotics teams and publishing Unity game assets has sharpened my programming, electronics, and leadership skills, which I apply to develop cutting-edge robotics solutions.
